That is something that causes me deep concern, and many other people as well. So I would like to find a way to properly arm Ukraine but without using these weapons which can have an impact, not just on the battlefield that time, on that day, but for months and years afterwards. But I am concerned about the use of cluster bombs, and it is not just the UK who has these concerns, other countries clearly do as well. We all agree that Ukraine needs to be properly armed to fight Russia and their illegal invasion. Reeves told the Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme on Sky News:
The UK shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has said cluster munitions are not the “appropriate weapons” to send to Ukraine. More on the Washington’s announcement that the US is to send cluster bombs to Ukraine. 09.49 BST Cluster munitions 'not appropriate weapons' to send to Ukraine, says shadow chancellor Sunak has a choice about how much to make of the difference when Biden visits Downing Street on Monday morning, but it is likely to be limited as the prime minister seeks to continue the process of repairing UK-US ties frayed over the course of the Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss premierships. However, the sixth meeting between the pair since Sunak took office in October has been partially overshadowed by the US president’s decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine, weapons that are prohibited by 100 countries including the UK, which currently holds the presidency of a convention banning them.
